I could build a mansion for my mare but that doesn't mean she'd let me spoil her. She's as independant as they come and except for bug season she stays outside. We get some pretty bitter cold times in winter and she prefers to work her way around a hill to stay out of the wind rather then come into her free stall area in a cozy warm barn. The only time she comes in is to hang out with me when I'm cleaning or if the bugs are bad. When the bugs are bad she stays in from sun up til sun down. Skeeters are OK but the horse flies, deer flies, and lake flies she can't handle. She likes peace and quiet and likes her time alone. If I want to spoil her, as with any female, food talks! I make her home made cookies! That or the occasional paper thin flake of alfalfa with her grass hay. I know in her mind that is being spoiled.
